PROMPT: Can you do one where Aubrey is trying to cook dinner for Beca because she wants to tell her that she is pregnant but she keeps getting interrupted by Chloe then the rest of the Bellas...then Aubrey has a mini or full on rant as Beca comes home sand hears the whole thing
Aubrey stared at the two lines on the pregnancy test. Positive. She grinned excitedly setting the test down on the edge of the sink, relief and happiness building up in her. This was their third try with IVF and after four days Aubrey had assumed it was yet another failure.
She quickly ran into the bedroom searching for her phone under the covers. Grabbing it and fumbling to open her messages she found Beca's name 'Hobbit' at the top.
Suddenly she stopped herself. This was a special moment, she didn't want Beca to hear about it hours later on a voicemail. Forming a plan in her head she nodded.
Instead she decided to text the Bella's, scrolling down she found the group chat they had used to plan Beca's surprise birthday party and sent out a message.
Aubrey (09:20) : Guess who's pregnant... Don't mention it to Beca, I'm telling her tonight.
She sets her phone on Beca's nightstand shaking her head at the mess the brunette had managed to accumulate there. Beca had forbid her from cleaning it as she had a system called 'organised chaos'. That was why the entire house was spotless with the exception of Beca's office and this nightstand.
Ignoring the consistent dings from her phone and the dozens of notification that pop up she heads to the living room pulling out her laptop. They would just have to wait until tomorrow.
She spent the next few hours searching for the perfect way to tell Beca about the baby. Deciding to tell her over dinner, Aubrey leaves their apartment to pick up the necessary ingredients for Beca's favourite meal.
She returned a couple hours later after getting sidetracked at the children's clothing section, she may or may not have bought a few things. A Posen was nothing if not prepared.
As she neared the door of the apartment she attempted to juggle the various bags in her arms, but she needn't have tried. The door was yanked open by a grinning redhead.
"Chloe?" she questioned as the girl took the bags from her. "Tut tut, Aubrey you shouldn't be carrying this much in your condition" she scolds. Aubrey rolls her eyes, these nine months were going to be unbearable.
"What are you doing here, Chloe?" she asks choosing to allow Chloe to relieve her of the bags. She was starting to regret giving Chloe that spare key.
"Well my best friend drops the bombshell on me that she's pregnant and then doesn't reply! What was I supposed to do?" Chloe says exasperated.
Aubrey shrugs sheepishly and Chloe sighs good naturedly.
"Whatever, Congratulations!" she squeals pulling the girl in for a gentle hug. Aubrey struggles not to roll her eyes again, Chloe was obviously holding back the full force of her hug. "You do know I'm not made of glass, you can hug me properly" she says and Chloe squeezed her tighter in response, not as tightly as usual she notes.
"I know! So how are you going to tell Beca?" Chloe asks, making herself comfortable on their couch. "I was going to tell her over dinner, if you would let me cook it" Aubrey said gesturing pointedly to the shopping bags.
"Ohh, I'll help you make it" Chloe offered and Aubrey quickly agreed knowing that the redhead wouldn't take no for an answer.
They quickly began setting out the ingredients after Aubrey received a text from Beca saying she was going to be home at seven.
Aubrey had just set the dials on the oven to the precise temperature on the recipe when the doorbell rang again. Aubrey set down the knife she was using and headed towards the door. They rarely had unannounced visitors apart from Chloe. Maybe Beca had ordered something off Amazon again, Aubrey had not been happy when she had received a box of 'canned unicorn meat'. The mailman still gave them weird looks.
"I'm coming!" she yelled as the person on the other side of the door began knocking obnoxiously.
Wrenching the door open with a glare she came face to face with Fat Amy. "Amy? What are you doing here?" she asks as the blonde shoves past her into the living room, flopping down on the couch with her feet on their coffee table. Aubrey's eyes narrow on the dirty soles of her shoes but she is distracted by the bag Amy pulls from somewhere on her person.
"Congratulations! Where's Shortstack?" the blonde asks as she pulls what looks like t-shirts from her bag.
Aubrey opens her mouth to reply but Amy waves her off. "Never mind, check out what I got" she throws a shirt to Aubrey who fumbles to catch it as Chloe walks in the room with a "Hi Amy".
Aubrey unfold the t-shirt to see it reads 'I'm pregnant'. She glances to Amy in confusion to see she's holding up a shirt in what looks like Beca's size that reads 'I'm not the father'. Aubrey fights to hold back a grin as Chloe aww's.
"How did you get these in such a short time" Aubrey asks in disbelief, but Any just taps her nose secretively before pulling out a red babies bodysuit.
Written on it are the words 'Hatched by two chicks' with the images of a few chicks and a broken eggshell.
"Aww!" Chloe squeals, grabbing the body suit and surveying it up close, with an exclamation of "I want a baby".
"Thank you, Amy" Aubrey says gratefully with a smile, folding the shirts back up and setting them carefully on the coffee table. "Now I'm in the middle of cooking dinner for Beca, no more distractions. You'll have to be out by seven" she says leaving her two friends chatting in the living room.
Aubrey is just placing the chicken in the oven when the doorbell begins to ring persistently. "Amy? Chloe? Can you get that!" She yells into the other room. After receiving no reply she moves into the living room, finding both girls each wearing a pair of Beca's headphones from her extensive collection.
"Hey" she snaps her fingers in front of them to get their attention "The doorbells been ringing for the past five minutes" she snapped receiving sheepish shrugs. "Sorry captain" Amy apologised.
Aubrey huffed moving to the door and opening it. She groaned in annoyance when there was nobody to be found. Swinging the door shut she found herself face to face, well actually stomach to face with Lily. The woman whispered something to her stomach before standing up and moving to sit on the couch next to Amy.
"Wha-You know what never mind, I don't have time for this" Aubrey says rubbing the bridge of her nose and moving towards the kitchen. She reaches the doorway when she is stopped by another ring of the doorbell.
Letting out a frustrated grumble she speed walks to the door and yanks it open. "What?!" she barks out before wincing. In front of her stands Emily with basket full of muffins, a congratulations card poking out from in between them.
Aubrey watches in regret as the younger girls eyes widen and her lower lip begins to tremble.
"No, no, no, no, I'm sorry Emily. I'm just under a lot of stress right now. You know hormones" she blabs finding herself grateful for the excuse she'll have for the next nine months.
"Oh..." Emily's eyes widen once more in understanding as she nods "That's fine" she says with a bright grin holding out the muffin basket "For you, Congratulations" she exclaims, jumping forward and wrapping Aubrey in her arms.
"Legacy! Get over here and check out these shirts" Amy calls from inside the apartment and the younger girl glances to Aubrey for permission. Aubrey nods with a sigh. Emily grins once more and moves into the living room.
Aubrey shuts the front door and leans back into it with a sigh. Checking her watch she sees the time is six thirty, an hour till Beca gets back.
She lets her head fall back onto the door with a thud when the doorbell rings again. She did not have time for this. It was her own fault really, she probably should have waited to text the Bella's until tomorrow.
She opens the door with a tired smile to find Stacie. "Wow, pregnancy's really taken a toll on you" Stacie comments with a teasing smile. "Shut up and get in" Aubrey says to which Stacie gasps.
"Baby hormones" she grouses as she walks past Aubrey and into the living room. Aubrey peers out of the apartment into the hallway to check nobody else is coming and then shuts the door.
Just as she reaches the kitchen to check on the chicken the doorbell rings again. She throws the pair of oven gloves she is wearing to the floor, her blood pressure rising to a dangerous level.
She storms to the door and wrenches it open. Standing in front of her are Jessica and Ashley wearing creepily identical grins on their faces, behind them stands a slightly creeped out Cynthia rose. "Congratulations!" Jessica and Ashley say in unison with CR repeating the sentiment. Jessica was carrying a box of chocolates which she assumed were from Ashley as well. CR had brought a cake with congratulations written on it. How did they get all this stuff so quickly?
"Thanks, get in" Aubrey says bluntly, moving aside as the three walk in exchanging confused looks at her attitude. She decides to ignore this and follows them through the living room.
Amy jumps up at the sight of the cake and immediately takes it from CR's hands. As she moves back over to the couch she fails to notice Lily laying completely prone on the floor and trips over her feet, the cake falling onto the carpet with a loud splat.
"Enough!" Aubrey yells, glaring at the group of girls. "You all need to leave so that I can finish this fucking dinn-" her words are cut off by the blaring sound of the smoke alarm. She feels bile rising up in her throat as she sprints into the kitchen. Yanking open the oven door she see's the chicken, or what used to be chicken. It was now a blackened lump. In her panic she attempts to pull the dish out of the oven, forgetting to don oven gloves. She feels tears build in her eyes as she stares at the shattered remains of the cooking dish, her evening shattered along with it.
Turning around and walking into the living room she feels the wide eyed stares of her friends on her as she slides down the wall onto the floor.
She begins to sob uncontrollably, maybe she did have pregnancy hormones. "All I wanted was to cook a nice dinner for my wife so I could tell her I was pregnant" she rambles hysterically, her voice rising to a incredibly high pitch. Chloe rushes to her side hugging her and urging her to calm down. Aubrey wipes her eyes as tears continue to stream down her face. She glances a glance up to see none of the Bella's are looking at her but are staring at the door of the apartment.
Aubrey's eyes move to follow theirs and land on her wife, standing with an open mouth in the doorway. Aubrey quickly stands.
"Did-did you hear..." Aubrey trails off, knowing very well from the expression on Beca's face that she had heard every word.
"You're pregnant" Beca asks and Aubrey can make out the slight trepidation and immense hope in her tone. Aubrey nods hesitantly.
"Yes!" Beca screams excitedly, Aubrey had never heard her so happy apart from when she had proposed and their wedding day. She runs to Aubrey and scoops her up in a tight hugs, somehow managing to lift the taller blonde in her arms. They spun around before Beca set her down with a grin. She pulled Aubrey in for a sweet kiss before remembering they had company. She pulled her eyes away from Aubrey's to survey the mess of a living room.
"What happened here?" Beca questioned happily, unable to be angry at that moment in time.
"Captains pregnant" Amy states as if that explains everything. Beca just nods slowly before turning to Aubrey with a grin.
"We're going to be parents" she said loving, placing a gentle hand on Aubrey's stomach.
Aubrey, despite her tear stained face and burnt finger tips, can't help but feel the happiest she ever had.
